Answer 1

Question: What is the effect of the repetition in Anne’s statement that “All we can do is wait … Jews and Christians alike are waiting, the whole world is waiting, and many are waiting for death”?

Answer: Anne on some level understands the reality of trying to survive the war as a Jew. But according to the diary, Anne says how she and her family are "luckier than millions of people" which shows how she knows what's happening outside in the war and knows how lucky she is to have her family.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Such repetition shows that Anne Frank already accepted her fate in her war-torn location and knew that she couldn't do anything about it. She is aware of the reality that she, her family and the people in her area are going through.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question above is related to Anne Frank's "The Diary of a Young Girl." She wrote this entry on January 13, 1943 and continuously addressed it to "Kitty." She mentioned how families in Holland were living in fear and how children were hungry and begging for bread on the streets. She talked about the sufferings of the people and realized that all they could do is to wait.

So, this explains the answer.
